Geographic Characteristics and Meteorological Factors Dominate the Variation of Chlorophyll‐a in Lakes and Reservoirs With Higher TP Concentrations by Hanxiao Zhang, Shouliang Huo, Lian Feng, Chunzi Ma, Wenpan Li, Yong Liu, Fengchang Wu

“…Variations in Chl‐a concentrations were not entirely synchronized at the individual and regional levels with TN and TP concentrations, or their stoichiometric ratios, as estimated by a hierarchical linear model spanning 1980 to 2018. Further, we discovered unexpected effects of geographical features (i.e., latitude, longitude, and slope) and meteorological factors (i.e., air temperature) on Chl‐a concentrations in the lakes and reservoirs with higher TP concentrations (>0.041 mg L−1 for lakes and >0.027 mg L−1 for reservoirs), through the use of multiple regression trees and structural equation model analysis. …”
